A calculated lie meant to mislead the court.
That’s how Home Affairs is responding to Nandipha Magudumana’s claims she was abducted in Tanzania.
The department has filed its responding papers to her urgent court bid to have her arrest set aside.
The aesthetics doctor fled the country with rapist and murderer Thabo Bester.
They went on the lam after news broke of his daring escape from a Mangaung prison in May last year.
In court papers, her legal team she says she was abducted in Tanzania by the South African Police Service.
But the Home Affairs department says Magudumana isn’t being honest.
In their opposing papers, the secretary of the High Commission insists the pair were handed over after their arrest by Tanzanian police.
The commission then handed them over to immigration officials.
The department has attached the notice from Tanzania deeming Bester and Magudumana undesirable immigrants who were in the country unlawfully.
The High Commission says if Magudumana wants to challenge the notice, she will have to approach the courts in Tanzania.
The matter is expected to be heard in the Free State High Court on Thursday.
